Grief and Loss Counseling in Aurora, TX.

Grief and loss is, unfortunately, a normal part of living. There is no single "correct" way to grieve: different cultures and even individuals from the same culture grieve differently. The only consistent feature is that grief takes time. The most effective thing anyone can do for someone grieving is to be there—to listen, to empathize, to walk along with the grief. There is no "fixing" grief. But counseling can help prevent normal grief from developing into major depression or other mental health conditions.

I use a Biblical / Christian approach to grief and loss. I help you encounter Jesus where your pain is so that you not only know, but experience his presence walking with you in your suffering. It's important to be able to give Jesus your feelings and allow him to sit with you while you're feeling them so you can ultimately release them and experience his healing and comfort.
